COnQuering A Bull.

In the "History of Dummerston, "
Vermont, is related an incident which
shows what 81 powerful agent fearless
ness is in conouering fierce animal.
A young man by the name of Wilder
was fond of q good horse, and was an
expert rider. At one time he called at
an inn to stay over night, and request
ed that his horse, g. young and spirit
ed animal, might be turned out to
pasture, instead OF being fed IN the
barn.
When morning came and he was
ready to resume his journey, he in.
formed the landlord that he would go
and catch his horse himself, as it was
difficult for a stranger to approach
him. The landlord objected, because
he had a savage bull in the pasture.
Nothing, however, could deter the
young man from catching his own
horse. He laughed at the landlords
fears and said, IF the bull comes near
me, III give him lesson t he won t
forget. -
Before venturing into the pasture,
he fastened ON his feet a pair OF large,
heavy spurs, which he sometimes wore
when riding horseback. The land
lord watched his proceedings with
considerable anxiety.
The horse and the bull were feeding
near together, and Mr.. Wilder could
not catch his horse without attract
ing the attention of the bull. The
latter animal fed quietly till he MOTTO
ed stranger approaching, when he
suddenly turned, and lowering his
head and believing, he made dash
at the young man.
Mr.. Wilder, equal to tho emergency,
lodged his enemy, and canght him in
such a manner as to spring astride
his back. The young man now had
the advantage, and plunging the spurs
deep into the sides of the bull, COM
PEELED the frightened creature to run
and gaLop madly about. The bull
beloved loudly, and soon stopped,
conquered and trembling.
Mr.. Wilder then dismounted, gently
patted the animals side, and said,
GOOD fellow! good fellow! You've
given me good hard ride"
The landlord, who had nervously
watched the scene, was so much
pleased with the young mans brave
exploit that he would take no pay
for his nights lodging, and ever after
gave him the freedom Ct his house
when he CHANGED that way.

The Woman That Looked Like

Chicago News. J.
Mr.. John l.. Jarrett related little
story to me recently, for the truth
of which he is ready as am to vouch.
He said:
II was walking through corridor
of the capital at Washington one day
| with q member OF one of the largest
wholesale hardware firms in New
York-a gentleman whose manner
would impress the most casual observ-
er with his Observation-Disclosures
we came upon a lady whom I recog-
nized as my companions wife.
"'Why, Kate, said my friend, what
are you doing here? When did you

1.-THE lady looked in a puzzled man
ner at him a moment and said, not
ill-naturedly,~ 4 don't know you, sir
"My friend looked more closely at
her and said, why, Kate, what do
you mean?
~ saw by my friends face that he
had reached the same conclusion had
that his wife had lost her reason.
"'Kate,' he finally burst out, for
Gods sake, don't you know me, your
husband?'
Eat this the lady drew back and
looked frightened, protesting that she
never saw him before. tried to say
something proper to the occasion, but
before I could do so my friend had
drawn a photograph of his wife from
his pocket and shown it to the lady,
saying, See, Kate, l am your hus-
band; see this?'
:" Where did you get that sir?' said
the lady.
II never was so befuddled in my life.
wondered if I could possibly be
dreaming all this. The lady was now
thoroughly frightened, and trying to
get away, while my friend was even
more frightened and was trying to de-
tain her. It looked as if we were 90.
ing to make ascene, so drew my friend
apart and advised him to let her go
until she reached some more retired
spot. We followed her and soon saw
her point us out to an officer of the
Senate, whom | knew very WELL The
officer approached, and Indignantly
asked what we meant by our conduct.
An explanation followed, and it turn
ed out that the lady was the wife of a
gentleman in Washington.
*'Of course the most abject apologies
followed, and then came my friends
wife from New York to verify his sto-
ry. The two families became very in
innate; but to this day neither hus-
band is sure when he meets one of the
ladies anywhere except at home
whether she is his wife or not.'

ing by untrodden paths; they sought
the depths of a wood on the slope of

day, lost among the tall grasses that
hid their youthful loves. Anon they

an escaped school girl, or pulled off
her shoes and took foot bath, while
Lucien, who provoklngly came up
from behind, made her scream out by
suddenly snatching a kiss from the
back Of her bare neck.
Their lack of linen, and OF Everything
generally, was highly amusing. They
were. IN fact, e'ated beyond measure
at the thought that, they were thus
left to themselves in desert where no

locked themselves in at 8 o clock, when

slippers and took up the akfast al

the meal thus eaten on the bedside
was exquisite and interminable, from
the kisses given and received, which

Ex-senator Bowne's Son Sick and
Pennfless at Newark,


NEWARK, Sept. THE son OF ex-sena'
tor Bovine, Of New York, who represented
one of the districts up in the State for
years, is lying at the United States Hotel
in this city with a broken leg and nearly
penniless. He is cared for by Capt. DON
ovan, the proprietor of the hotel. The
young mar inherited nearly a million dol
lars q few years ago. but has squandered it
all. He admits that he spent $500. 900 in
eight years. Bovine came to Newark
several years ago a physical wreck, hav-
ing used up his fortune in dissipation and
lost most OF his friends. President Mack
net, Of the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton, gave Bovine help and employment,
but after q few weeks he left here and went
to Morristown, where he was employed In
a stable. After that he worked on a farm
for over q year at $40 q month and board.
About a week ago he read of q case in the
Brooklyn Surrogate Court. He was an
important witness in the case and went to
see the attorneys Of the woman who was
suing to recover an estate left by her hus-
band.

amouns Of credit to Rev. Whitetie of this
city for the grand work he Is doing in rid

Few seem to realize the magnitude of the
work he is accomplishing. As an instance
we might mention last Wednesday night.
On that evening at about eight O'Clock the
reverend gentleman took $50 which he had
collected for foreign missions the Sunday
before, put it into his pocket and went
down to the Gold Brick. the most notori-

himself before the faro layout the good

THE INDIAN SCARE.
All Quiet Along Ell Dorado Canyo

All Quiet Along Ell Dorado
Rumors we're rife last week hat the
Indians in the region Of Ell Dorado Can.
Won, Lincoln county, had gone on the
varpsth and driven all Of the settlers
from their homes. State Senator Poujade
of Phoebe, wrote to q friend at Ell Dorado
Canyon, making inquiry about the al
disturbance. He permits the
Record to publish the reply which he re-
ceived as follows:
The Piute Indians from Ivsnpah, Muscal,
the Muddy Valley. Ell Dorado Canyon,
Cottonwood Island and Chiwunca valley
are assembling at, or near, the vegas
ranch, avowedly for the sacrifice OF horses
and blankets, etc., and q "cry Tor the
benefit of the souls of the past years de-
parted Piutes, and for a I" big talk" The
Jubilee is to come off now in two or three
DAYS from this. As there are some two
hundred Indians about the Vegas and but
little to eat, and some Of the Indians are
said to be helping themselves to fruit. etc.,
rather boldly, the few white people out
there have become somewhat uneasy. Inc
Indians from this vicinity have no griev-
ance or complaint Of anything that has &C.
Cured in this region. Some months
since a white man at Ivanpah, Cal. shot
and killed a Piute Indian named Robin
son, threw his body down q prospect hole
and went to San Bernsrdino. So far as l
know nothing has been done about 1t by
the California authorities. II is reported
to have been q causeless murder. The
excuse given is that another ~Indisn-one
George William-had stolen something
from the white mans tent. Robinson's
relations md other Indians think q white
man muse be killed to make it even. In
addition to this there are probably q few
bad Indisns among the assembly at the
Vegas, that would not be averse to plum
dering or killing, but the assembly is no
doubt intended to be peaceable and harm
less, and I presume will be. 1 think these
Indians will scatter again in q few days.

THE LOeIC OF THE SITUATION.

In an interview telegraphed from the
east and published in yesterdays Sen.
TINEL, President Cleveland is made to
say in substance that he don't see how
any man who has endured the worriment
and pressure, physical and mental, of one
term in the Presidential Office can, of his
own accord, seek a nomination for a Sec
ond. The expression is very guarded.
He does not say that he will not accept
the nomination at the hands of his party,
only that with his experience he does
not feel like doing anything himself to
secure it. On the contrary, his state.
ment is q virtual declaration that he will
be q candidate if the Democratic party
should again call upon him to make the
race. And this it will do with substan.
tial unanimity. 1t is the logical thing
to do.
We are bound to 60 before the people
on the success or failure of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. If the people re-
gard it as a failure, neither Mr.. Cleve.
land nor any other Democrat can win; if
a success, the same is due to Mr.. Cleve-
land, and he, of all other men, is the
man for the contest. From a Demo.
cratic standpoint, it is Cleveland or moth.
ing; there is nc escape from the logic of
the situation. Unless something should
occur, not now foreseen, Cleveland is as
certain to be nominated for a second
term as that a Democratic National Con.
~vention shall be held. In fact he is as
good as nominated now. Who will be
placed on the ticket with him is not
quite so clear, though it will undoubtedly
be some man from the Northwest, most
probably a Union General.
On the Republican side the candidate
will be Blaine or whomsoever Blaine
may desire. We believe Blaine to be
the strongest man in the Republican
party, and we also believe that the race
over again between the old tickets, will
be as before, remarkably close, with the
chances favoring Democratic success.
